 If you don't have a Visual Studio standard Professional or Enterprise subscription and you want one, see the [Visual Studio subscription](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/pricing/) page.
 
 If you already have a Visual Studio standard Professional or Enterprise subscription, after you join the program, when you set up your Microsoft 365 developer subscription, you have the option to link it to your Visual Studio subscription. For details, see [Set up your Microsoft 365 E5 sandbox subscription](microsoft-365-developer-program-get-started.md#set-up-your-microsoft-365-e5-sandbox-subscription).
